Which is true of the relationship between FM bandwidth and channel spacing?

  • A.They are always equal by definition
  • B.Occupied bandwidth exceeds the spacing in normal operation
  • C.Spacing is set by the audio bandwidth alone
  • D.Spacing exceeds the occupied bandwidth to allow a guard band

Answer: D

Regulators set spacing wider than the occupied bandwidth so that the Bessel tail beyond Carson's rule, frequency errors and receiver imperfections do not cause interference. FM broadcasting's 180 kHz in a 200 kHz channel is the standard example. Equality would leave no margin. Occupied bandwidth exceeding the spacing is precisely the over-deviation fault. And audio bandwidth alone would ignore the deviation entirely.
